Abstract (en)

A process for producing a sorbitol coated comestible capable of being dyed without the colour fading or becoming mottled is disclosed, in which first and second sorbitol coating solutions are applied to a substantially anhydrous edible core to coat the edible core. The first sorbitol solution contains: (a) from 25 to 85 wt % of a sorbitol solution of to 75 wt % sorbitol, (b) from 3 to 20 wt % crystalline sorbitol powder, (c) from 0.10 to 10 wt % of at least one film forming agent, (d) from 0.10 to 15 wt % of at least one crystallization retardant including powdered gum arabic, and (e) water. The second coating solution contains: (a) from 50 to 90 wt % sorbitol solution of from 65 to 75 wt % sorbitol, (b) from 5 to 20 wt % crystalline sorbitol powder, (c) about 0.5 to about 10 wt % of at least one crystallization retardant, including powdered gum arabic, and (d) water. After application of each coating solution, the solution is dried to prepare a final product which is a smooth, hard and crunchy comestible, with an even colour distribution.
